standup wheelies

having trouble trying to cover the rear brake on standups, any tips.
it just feels weird cause the brake lever is standing up too.
do you cover the rear while doing standups?

Re: standup wheelies

always cover your rear brake, that is your First Aid Kit if you start to loose it. Just have to get use to it, takes time. Just like when you first buy a brand new baseball glove. **** feels weird and takes time to break in.

It's pretty easy actually, more easy than both front pegs, the front just comes up a little bit faster, but the bike seems more stable.

adjust the brake pedal up its hard to get your toes pointed down if you dont.it took me a long time to switch to my left passenger peg its so much easyer you have way more control.spend time learning rear brake control if
not you will go over
